January 2, 2004 -- A 21-year-old Helm Lane resident and
the 35-year-old neighbor who reported her for being too loud were both
arrested for public intoxication late Saturday night. The man was also
charged with resisting arrest after he refused to follow police orders
to keep his mouth shut and go back inside his apartment and resisted
efforts to place him in custody.

The woman was alleged to have become involved in an argument with her
neighbor and other residents at 11:45 p.m., continually getting louder
and progressively more disorderly, according to reports.

She smelled very strongly of an alcoholic beverage, had slurred speech
and was very unsteady on her feet when arrested in the common area at
the apartment complex, reports stated.

Her downstairs neighbor continued arguing with the woman, becoming
very loud and disorderly even after officers asked him to be quiet and
go inside his apartment. He too smelled very strongly of an alcoholic
beverage, had slurred speech and very bloodshot eyes.

When officers told him he was under arrest for public intoxication,
he told the officer that he was not going to jail and tried pulling away
from the officer.
